What could possibly go wrong? Well, we saw the answer to that question last week on the London Bridge, where a jihadi who had supposedly turned from the error of his ways and been “deradicalized” went on a stabbing spree.
“Military releases 983 suspected Boko Haram members,” by Kayode Idowu, Punch, November 27, 2019 (thanks to Udoh):
The military authorities on Wednesday released 983 suspected Boko Haram members cleared of complicity with the terror group.
The head of the military counter-insurgency operation in the North–East (Operation Lafiya Dole), Maj. Gen. Olusegun Adeniyi handed the men to Borno State governor, Prof. Babagana Umara at the Giwa Barrack, Maiduguri….
The Army appealed to the Borno State Government to empower them by training them in various trades and vocations.
He told the insurgents still in the trenches that those that voluntarily surrender will be welcomed back to the society.
He, however, called on those freed to go and sin no more. He asked Boko Haram members willing to surrender to submit themselves to any army formation, police stations or any security agency office.
He said then the process of reintegrating them into the society will commence without intimidation….
Arthur says
Did anyone of them listen this, and Jesus Christ command? “go and don’t sin anymore?
not may criminals followed these holy words, unfortunately
these criminals would be laughing and doing same shit – this is real life

Likely this was intended to mock Christians, who are the main victims of Boko Haram.

Why did the Nigerian deprogramming fail? BECAUSE: they mustn’t have tried very hard or they didn’t try at all … telling jihadists to obey the laws of Nigeria is only reminding them of the reason they are fighting: to overcome the laws of Nigeria and impose pure Sharia. The only effective way to deprogram a jihadist out of jihadism is to convince him that the Koran is not divine, but of human origin.
The Koran is no less than collected sermon notes from the fiery sermons, diatribes and séance-readings of Mohammed, intended to motivate his troops to attack, rob and enslave innocent people in and around Arabia. These sermon notes were scribbled down in a semi-illiterate and stylistically bumptious manner by Mohammed followers and that is why there is no context in the Koran and why the text is frequently incoherent with so many repetitions of the same stories. The Koran’s abrupt changes of topic and meandering illogic are just like someone speaking spontaneously and jumping from topic to topic and then back again in the heat of passionate anger.
Over 60% of the Koran is the rant that Allah hates the kafirs and wishes the Muslim (troops) to hurt them, take their possessions from them and enslave them. The Koran’s message is sociopathic and antithetical to human rights. The Koran is the message of a bronze-age, and very human warlord haranguing his troops. That is what the Koran clearly is and what the jihadists correctly understand it to be. No one who studied the Koran can be convinced that its message is PEACE AND LOVE. Rather, Allah wants fear, hate and war.
In order to detach a jihadist from jihadism, deprogrammers need to completely demolish the idea that a deity inspired or dictated this psychological rant called the Koran. Modern scholars think Caliph abd al Malik and his staff assembled the Koran to support the Umayyad dynasty and to maintain their moral authority among the superstitious, rebellious, competitive and semi-barbaric Arab tribes.
Once the ‘halo’ is removed from the Koran, and it is perceived as a hoax, Muslims cannot take Islam seriously. They quietly stop practicing.

Mortimer, you have never said why pious Muslims would listen to the “filthy Infidels”.

Good plan. Shrewd.

A chance for Nigerian academics to study 983 men.

Under islam the sin is NOT killing, enslaving and looting.
vtology says
Governments are so stupid you have to suspect they are complicit.
Frank Anderson says
I suggest if you look at WWII history for examples, collaboration is neither stupid nor accidental. Sides have been chosen and interests have been directed to the goals.

True, Frank–Nigeria has a Muslim president. I don’t think his playing footsie with Boko Haram can be chalked up to ignorance.
Medical Values says
The deprogramming is the step to move the jihadists to southern Nigeria to continue islamization of Non-muslims , cease lands of the kafirs under the supervision of pro-islamic Buhari government.

Nigeria: Military releases 983 suspected Boko Haram jihadis, tells them “go and sin no more”
………………..
Yeah–*that’ll* work. Of course, it is likely not intended to…

To be fair, these fools spout nonsense that is no different than what comes out of the mouths of the so-called smart regressive western leftists. Peas in a pod they are.
